Political Nicknames

This pub quiz handout round features the nicknames of 15 British Prime Ministers and U.S. Presidents (e.g. The Milk Snatcher). The names of the Prime Ministers and Presidents are also given, but in a mixed up list and the aim is to match them all up correctly.

Some of the nicknames should be recognisable to most teams to ensure they get up and running on this round quickly, and some should be fairly easy to work out. However, there are some which are less well known, so teams may need to rely on some guesswork to complete the round.

While the information in this round could be used in a pub quiz to make up a standard question and answers (where the quiz-master asks questions aloud and the teams write the answers on blank answer sheets) it is recommended that this is used in a quiz as a handout round.
